We do not collect Strava usernames/passwords, and users can disconnect at any time.We have beta users blocked because the app is still in Single Player Mode. Could you please advise on review status or help us increase athlete capacity?Thank you!

Hi Strava Developer Team, I'm requesting production access (exit from Single Athlete Mode) for my application AthletIQ AI. App Details: - App Name: AthletIQ AI - Client ID: 218772 - Category: Health & Fitness / AI Coaching - App URL: https://athletiq-ai.vercel.app What the app does: AthletIQ AI is a post-workout AI coaching engine for endurance athletes (running, cycling, triathlon). After a user connects their Strava account, the app fetches recent activity data and delivers personalized AI-generated coaching insights — pacing analysis, HR zone breakdown, recovery recommendations, and training load trends. It is a coaching assistant, not a data dashboard. Why I need multi-athlete access: I am currently piloting the product with running and cycling clubs in Berlin and Istanbul. Athletes are ready to onboard but cannot connect because the app is restricted to a single authorized user. I need at least 10–20 connected athletes to run a meaningful pilot with club coaches.

I'm the developer of RunCoach (https://runcoach-app.vercel.app), a personalized running coaching platform. Athletes connect their Strava account to automatically sync running activities with their training plans.I've reached the sandbox athlete limit (Error 403) and need production access. App ID: 221739. Please let me know what information is needed to proceed.

Hi everyone, I’m currently building an application that integrates with the Strava API primarily for athlete verification and limited profile display (recent activity summary, ride count, etc.). The OAuth flow is working correctly and tokens are stored securely. However, the application is currently limited to 1 connected athlete, and additional users receive: Error 403: Limit of connected athletes exceeded I’m trying to understand the correct process to move from development (1 athlete) to production-level athlete limits. I don’t see a “Request Production Access” option in the API dashboard. Is the current process to submit a support ticket, or is there another mechanism for requesting a quota increase? For context: We are not replicating Strava features. We only request basic read scopes. Users can disconnect at any time. We comply with Strava’s branding and data usage guidelines.  Any guidance from developers who’ve recently gone through production approval would be greatly apprecia

Hi all,Wondering if the long wait on application-limit-increase requests is normal right now, or if I'm in a queue that's stalled.Timeline:- April 14 — submitted limit-increase request via developers@strava.com   (App ID 211015, registered webhook subscription 340791)- May 9 — followed up with diagnostic info: discovered our webhook URL   was sitting behind Cloudflare's Bot Fight Mode, which was challenging   automated probes (including, I suspect, Strava's validation traffic).   Webhook events were silently being blocked.- May 10 — fixed: routed webhook traffic through a dedicated DNS-only   subdomain (no Cloudflare proxy), TLS via Caddy/Let's Encrypt,   verified reachable. Real activity events are now flowing.- May 13 — no response yet (29 days total since the original request,   3 business days since the follow-up).Two questions for the community:1. Has anyone else had Cloudflare Bot Fight Mode silently block    Strava's automated webhook probes? Curious if this is a known issue

I submitted a request to increase my connected athlete limit weeks ago. This app supports the cycling community at large through showing weather on routes and ride coordination, but has a strong focus on charity cycling teams. Check it out here: https://velovate.app/

I've sent more than 10 requests in the last few months, I've never received a response and they've never increased my credit limit.

It is very common in sports that heart rate zones in running are a bit higher than in cycling. I would really like to setup different heart rate zones for Cycling & Running!

Hello Strava API Team,I would like to request guidance regarding Production Access / athlete capacity review for my app.App name: Rule9Website: https://rule9.bikeClient ID: 229136Rule9 is a cycling route weather analysis app. It connects a cyclist’s planned Strava route with point-by-point weather data, including wind, temperature, precipitation probability, and elevation context. The goal is to help cyclists decide whether planned riding conditions are safe and suitable before heading out.The app currently appears to be in Single Player Mode. The API dashboard shows that only 1 athlete is allowed to connect, and 1 athlete is already connected. Because of this, other users cannot test or use the Strava integration.Rule9 uses Strava route data only for the authenticated athlete. No Strava data is sold, shared with third parties, or used to train AI or machine learning models.I will also submit the official Developer Program / athlete capacity review form linked in the Strava API documen

Hi Strava API Team!I submitted an API rate limit increase request back on April 18th, but haven't heard back yet (well past the 7-10 business day guidance). I also followed up via email on April 30th. My application (Client ID: 216153) creates custom map art for activities, which users can then order printed and framed. We are looking to expand from individuals to run clubs and events, but are heavily reliant on a manual input workaround right now. It would be amazing to get our capacity unlocked so we can provide a seamless Strava-connected experience for athletes. Our full website url is in the application.Could someone from the team please help look into this? Any help to escalate this review would be highly appreciated! Please let me know if there is anything I can do. Thank you!
